Box 58 Bakersfield, CA 93302-0058 Dear Kane: As you requested. I have completed a baseline sensitive wildlife species survey at the North and South Pioneer. Berrenda Mesa Water Recharge Basins and the Castle and Cooke Exchange Properties. I consulted with Ms. Jody Brown of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and Mr. Dale Mitchell of the California Department of Fish and Game to determine the intensity of the surveys. Figure 1 shows current land- use conditions and sensitive resources that I found on the properties. General descriptions of the parcels are as follows: North Pioneer Property - Most of this parcel is currently under water and supporting a wide variety of waterfowl. All lands being used for water recharge were farmed prior to being flooded. Sensitive resources include: fresh tracks of kit foxes (Vuipes macroris murica) (Figure 1). and three potential kit fox dens along the southern boundary of the parcel. A small area along the southern boundary is natural habitat disturbed by oil well development. The present value of the property to sensitive wildlife species would generally be limited to use for foraging. The Cross Valley Canal right-of-way (Figure 1I is not pan of the project and not included in the survey. Mr. Kane Totzke 23 September 1995 Page 2 South Pioneer and Berrenda Mesa Property - These properties are currently under water or are being farmed (Figure 1). All lands being used for water recharge were farmed prior to being flooded. I found no sign of kit foxes during my cursory survey, however, foxes from adjoining properties probably forage on the,property. 1 suspect the kangaroo rats along the northern boundary of the Berrenda Mesa ponds (Figure 1) are Heermann's kangaroo rats (Dipodomys heermanni). The present value of the property to sensitive wildlife species would be use as foraging habitat. The Kern River Canal and Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-ways (Figure 1) are not part of the project and not included in the survey. Castle and Cooke Exchange Property - With the exception of approximately 60 acres in Section 1 (Figure 1) (part of the secondary flood plain of the Kern River). these properties are currently being farmed. I found no sign of kit foxes during my cursory survey, however, foxes from adjoining lands probably forage on the property. The kangaroo rat burrows shown in Section 4 (Figure 1) are along the edge of the properry in an area that has not been disturbed by the farming operation. I found no evidence of blunt-nosed leopard lizards (Gambelia Sila) or San Joaquin antelope squirrels (Ammospermophilus nelson11 at either location. If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call at (805) 839-0375 or 324-3584. Sincerely, William J.
